About Me

I'm a 27 year old professional poker player from Helsinki, Finland. Before turning my poker hobby into a profession I was an investmant banker in London, England and Stockholm, Sweden for two years . Outside the cardrooms I enjoy a lot of outdoor activities such skydiving, scuba diving and snowboarding. I havent't BASE jumped yet but that's high up there on my to do list.I spend most of my time on the road. I follow the World Poker Tour and tend to be in Vegas about half of the year and go home to Finland about once a month. I'm pretty sure I will settle down soon as life on the road can get pretty tough, but I still haven't decided where I want to live.
